IMPROVEMENT IN GROU ND-PULVERI ZERS.

The Schedule referred to in theseI-ettem Patent and making part of the same.

a-full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon. i The nature of the invention consists in the construction and combination of the ground-pulverizer hereinafter described; said device to be made. of wood, iron, and steel, or any other convenient and suitable material.

To enableothers. skilled in the art to'make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it more fully, as follows, viz:

AA A of No. 1 of the accompanying drawing is a wooden frame, of the shape therein represented, to which convenient draft apparatusv may be attached, at I.

H H H and H H H are teeth, similar ty-the teeth of a barrow, fastened to the wooden frame A A A, in the position and in the manner and form as represented in the drawing .E, F, and G are crnshers, of the shape there represented, extending from side to side of the machine, and being under-it, by means of the hooks and staples at S, in t-he'm'anner and form as represented.- I

To regulate the slant bf the. pulverizers, they are provided with an adjusting apparatus, consisting of the arc-formed plates E E, F F, and G G, which pass through a mortise in the frameA A, and are 'held in proper position by meausof the pins V V V,

which pass through them and the frame A A, securing them .to the mortise aforesaid.

Attached to the back end of this device, by means of the chain K K, is an ordinary llttl'l'0W,' at No. 2, the frame of which is represented by B B B. and the teeth by T, T, T, T, and T.

To use my said device, all these various parts-are arranged in their proper places, as represented in the the drawing. A sufficient number of draft animals is then hitched at I, by means of any convenient and suitable device. It is then dragged over the ground which it is to-pulverize, when it will be found that, by 7 reason of the combination of the crushers, the teeth, and plows, as aforesaid, the ground will be more el fectually and evenly pulverized than by any other device now in use.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ,is,- I

The construction and arrangement of the crusher-s E, F, and G, and arc-shaped plates E E, F F, and G G", and the pins V V V, in manner and form substantially as set forth.

In testimony that .I claim the foregoing specifica; tion, I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day of December, 1869.
